Kids really do say the darndest things...

And I want to file them all away with how good they make me feel. I love when we go to sleep at night...

"Can we go shopping?"

"Ladies and gentlemen..."

"For goodness sake! Can I say that?"

"Wait a minute!"

"Daddy, Mommy and I are talking to ourselves"

"I know I am small now but when I am bigger, I am going to drive a dump truck. And Jason is going to drive his own dump truck. His is white"

"I am a good boy today. I did not hit, I did not punch, I did not push or kick any of my friends at school. I'll try again tomorrow." Now would that be he will try to kick them tomorrow or he will try again to be good tomorrow? Judging by the amount of time he spends in time out, I am thinking the former.

"When we get home, I want to go outside and play with Daddy. We want to play football outside before dinner." Substitute golf, basketball, etc as the mood suits him and the season allows.

"May I want some ice cream please"

"Can we watch a movie? And make popcorn?"

"Sing Hush Little Baby, Mommy". We have our own version. I bought this great book that uses that lullaby with different words. Things like Mama's going to show you the evening sky instead of buying stuff to make their baby happy. We love it and sing it every night as we read the book.

"You want to sleep with me?" We snuggle together at night for a while and he always asks me. We make tunnels with the covers and I pretend to eat his ears and neck and nibble his toes like a monster and he just giggles.
